Future Procurement Opportunity (FPO) - Master Systems Integrator for TVNZ Internet Protocol (IP) Platform Programme

Overview

TVNZ expects to approach the market shortly to procure the services of a Master Systems Integrator (MSI). The MSI will work with TVNZ to help deliver TVNZ’s strategic Internet Protocol (IP) Platform technology programme. The MSI will work on some or all aspects of the Design, Deliver, Test and Operate phases of the programme.

The IP Platform programme is a multi-workstream, multi-year programme of work that seeks to re-platform TVNZ's heavily broadcast based technology to better meet the reality and expectations of modern audiences and, in doing so, create a sustainable and efficient digital first content business model. The programme involves both the introduction of new technologies and the retention and further development of existing technologies currently operated by TVNZ.

The scope of the programme is the end to end management of video and data content, from receipt to viewer delivery. Enterprise management technologies (e.g. ERP systems) are outside of the programme's scope.

As well as supporting improved audience experiences, the programme will transform TVNZ's digital capabilities and support new ways of working, offering simplicity, scale, efficiency and increased productivity.

TVNZ expects to issue an Expression of Interest / Registration of Interest (EOI/ROI) document to GETS by the end of May 2023. Suppliers who are shortlisted through the EOI/ROI process are expected to be invited to participate in a closed Competitive Dialogue and Request for Proposals process.

Note: This is a FPO to alert suppliers of a potential upcoming procurement activity. It does not represent commitment by TVNZ to procure.
